what is the right website hello baton rouge? also, what would he have done if when he broke in the lady had had a gun? not a whistle, peed her pants, vomited or said she had a sexual disease or all the other crud the liberals say to use, but a real life 30 round AR-15, SAFETY OFF AND FINGER ON THE TRIGER. bet he wouldn't have gotten that cell phone.

Wow, so a tire iron can be used as an assault weapon as well? Go figure.

No, that's all that The Advocate published. The booking sheet shows much MUCH more that no one gets to see, unless you go to the right websites ;)
